Things aren't looking so good for the LGBT+ Community with the new Catholic Church...


The new pope has previously made comments apparently discouraging acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. In 2012, he criticized Western norms for fostering "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel," per a May 2 report by The New York Times, citing the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.”

Additionally, while in Chiclayo, Peru, Leo discouraged education on gender ideology, claiming it "seeks to create genders that don't exist," he told a local outlet, according to the Times.


And I did have to laugh when the article finished with this...

However, in his first public address as pope, Leo emphasized the need for a church that "builds bridges, establishes dialogues," and the ability to "receive everybody that needs our charity, our presence, dialogue and love."

Well, it's not like he was going to go out on the balconey and tell the flock to hate the Gays.
And as for what he did say, have you ever noticed how people that hate you always feel the need to help you?

Leo, please prove me wrong........

Let's hope that Pope Leo has tempered his views since then and takes a more modern and tolerant stance. He seems nice but it remains to be seen if he really is a moderate.

A lot of people think there's a good chance he may have moderated or evolved his views on LGBT issues. We can hope. Another Chicagoan by the name of Obama did.

I hope he does prove you wrong. At least he criticized Vance so there is that.
Da Pope, LOL. I had to laugh.

But I do hope he proves you wrong.

Hugs, Helen
